Guys, just a tip. Whenever buying or selling your hardware, 'DO NOT' use 'ParcelForce'. Their insurance service relies on the recipient filling out a questionaire and if they're disgruntled and they don't fill it out you get 'zero'. ParcelForce abuse parcels in transit. My Samsung Odysee was crushed by a worker who literally used it as a step leaving a boot print on the box. Despite the evidence, because the disgruntled recipient didn't fill out their questionaire I'm £300 out of pocket!

Pay the extra and use couriers like DPD. They use secure cages and they handle your goods with care.
 
Pretty sure though most exclude monitors anyway from shipping from house address to house address. Why most people only sell via collection. Resellers like OCUK are a business and have different insurance attached to business delivery

I took the parcel to the Post Office and the person taking receipt of it asked what it was before taking over £15 of my money. I replied "a virtual reality headset". They took my money. Whilst in transit a Parcelforce worker used it as a step thus crushing the VR HMD and leaving me £300 out of pocket. However, if my parcel hadn't contained a VR HMD I'm sure the Parcelforce worker who stood on and crushed my parcel wouldn't have stood on my parcel knowing it didn't contain a VR HMD. If i'd packed say a RTX 3090 I'm sure it would have taken the weight of a man standing on it a lot better than my VR HMD.

Sorry, it's my bad for not labelling the item without the "DO NOT STEP" label on. :rolleyes:
